The only bad thing I can say is that 5 stars isn't enough for Jove Meyers Events. My wife and I live in Chicago but she's from Brooklyn so a wedding in New York was the plan. After months of trying to do it ourself we realized we needed help. After a few weeks of looking we came across Jove. Immediately we knew he was going to be a partner in our wedding. He called it "our wedding" and he meant it. My wife instantly loved him and he took action. You don't know what a planner does until you see it all come together. We've all witnessed planners at weddings, often they are intrusive and a bore, simply unliked. The absolute opposite with Jove, my family and friends loved him and his team so much that I think they are in the family pictures now. Not just the wedding ones, but we've added him to pictures from the 1980's, my high school year book in the 90's, etc. Lol. I can't say how much I appreciate Jove. Jove and his team took care of us & everything. Not only coordinating 3 caterers, a food truck, flowers, transportation, he even made sure we stayed hydrated and fed. As important Jove made sure we didn't pay for services he provided that we didn't need, saving us on the budget. He was honest and fair at every turn. Jove took my very anxious wife, on a very anxious day and immediately put her at ease as promised, he delivered. We couldn't have had the perfect wedding without Jove. He was absolutely right "our wedding" was perfect. We love Jove! If you are planning a wedding do yourself a solid and call Jove Meyers Events. If it's where you start it will be where you end up. He's amazing! We love him. read more

When you get married, if it's not Jove Meyer that you're saying 'I do' to, then you're going to want to make sure he's somewhere in the building. This guy is amazing. We recently tied the knot at a beautiful B&B in upstate New York, the site of one of our first getaways as a couple. While the Inn is perfectly outfitted to house its overnight guests, our's was the largest event it has hosted. We needed to rent and bring in all essentials - forks, knives, glasses, plates, extra furniture, all food, and of course typical items such as flowers, candles etc. Working with Jove made this entire experience a pleasure, we just focused on finding things we liked and he took care of the rest. I don't know what kind of organizational wizardry he was doing behind the scenes, but his management made my wedding week one of the most relaxed and full of joy I can remember. The vendors he helped us find all delivered beyond our expectations and on budget, and he was consistently checking in with them to make sure everything was on track. Jove even coached the inn management through any issues they were dealing with while hosting the big event. As wedding day approached I couldn't believe how relaxed both me and my spouse were, we spent our entire wedding catching up with loved ones and just enjoying the party. If I could give this guy 10 stars I would. As our wedding wrapped I heard repeatedly from friends and family that ours was the among the most unique, memorable and enjoyable they've attended. If you want a wedding that fits you and want to enjoy the entire process, you should start by getting in touch with Jove. read more

It is the day after my beautiful New Year's Eve wedding, and I can't recommend Jove Meyer strongly enough. When I first met Jove, the caterer we had intended to use had just backed out with only 6 weeks to go. Instead of worrying and fretting, he made me feel relaxed and didn't blame me for the predicament that I was in. And that is ultimately what I knew I needed for my big day. Someone who knows how to roll with the punches, operate under pressure...and someone who would support me and not bring any negative energy to the table. When I ultimately found a new caterer, the captain had worked with Jove before and spoke very highly of him. She had seen him operate under pressure and complimented me on choosing him to be my day-of planner. He looked adorable for the wedding in a very cute polka dot bow tie and managed the evening without it ever feeling stressful. The night went off without a hitch and I had so many compliments from my guests. I have a lot of respect for the job that he has to do--from managing an array of personalities to creating precise floor plans to organizing the vendors. Jove will help you and respond to your every question and concern--he is the perfect ally to have by your side so you can enjoy your special day. read more

As the Sales & Marketing manager of an event Venue in Brooklyn, I cannot say enough how much of a pleasure it is to work with Jove Meyer! I always feel a wave of relief when couples inform me that they've decided to work with Jove and his team as it's pretty much a guarantee of a smooth event and a great time! read more

We could not recommend Jove enough. We used him for full-service wedding planning. We planned our wedding across coasts (Wedding in NY, we live in San Francisco). Jove not only helped us have the wedding of our dreams (we reminisce frequently), but he made the planning process fun and enjoyable. Picking Jove as our Wedding Planner was the best decision we made for our wedding! Jove always provided great options and vendors tailored to our requests and preferences. He was extremely patient as we made decisions. We ended up with an incredible venue, incredible band, photographer, videographer, and kosher caterer that made the night so special. He worked closely with us on the design of the night, and helped us pick a florist that helped realize that vision. The first moment we saw the reception hall the night of our wedding, our breath was taken away. Jove went above and beyond helping us plan our Rehearsal Dinner and Sunday Brunch following the wedding. We had a special bagel spot in mind to cater the Sunday Brunch, and Jove found creative solutions to make it work for an awesome spot in Brooklyn, near our hotels. The weekend of the wedding, Jove was on top of everything. We (along with our families) could focus on enjoying the celebration, and Jove ran a perfect show. If you are considering Jove as your wedding planner, you will not be disappointed with the process and the resulting wedding! We miss our planning sessions with him! read more

My daughter got married this past weekend. We hired Jove for the day of the wedding. I can't say enough about how well everything went. Everyone was impressed with his professionalism and demeanor. He is a joy to work with. The day of the wedding I got to the church and I found I had the marriage license in my hand and no clue were it went. I shoved it at Jove. The next time I saw the license it was on the altar being signed by my daughter and her husband. That moment alone was worth the investment. This was only one example of his invaluable work making my daughters vision for her wedding come to life. read more

I got married on Pi day. I gave Jove quite a bit of a challenge when I asked him to help me with the day of the wedding planning. My wedding was a star wars/Chinese/Italian/Jewish themed wedding with the reception being at a Chinese banquet hall where many of the employees did not speak English. Jove took on the challenge with a smile on his face and made everything meld together seamlessly on that day. I really don't know what I would have done without him. He knew his way around almost every tradition and item we needed to have at the wedding and the ones he didn't know he sought the help of his nerdy colleagues to assist him. He made pulling off a 200 person multi-cultural wedding with a very difficult language barrier seem like a breeze. I cannot recommend Jove and his team enough. Even though I only hired him for day of services, he made sure that I knew that I could rely on him for the duration of my planning and especially the month before. Jove, thank you so much for a job really well done. read more

Jove Meyer was a wreck as coordinator for my recent wedding in Brooklyn. He never showed a grasp of his responsibilities, and his work ended up far short of that promised. He acted indiscreetly throughout the night -- by posting wedding photos from his phone to Twitter and Instagram (when he should have been working) and by eating, drinking and packing boxes in front of guests. And after the wedding, he wrote off our emailed complaints as a "major misunderstanding," rather than give us the courtesy of owning up to his missteps -- that is what we expect from a professional. My wife and I came to know a different person from the one who receives many positive reviews on wedding sites. Once hired, Jove consistently gave our wedding low priority. He arrived 45 minutes late to our key planning meeting, without a text or email. When pressed, he whined he had come by mass transit from a far off event. Really? You're an event planner - figure it out. We had to beg him to meet again around his other clients; he simply did not voice concern for the many items we had left to cover. He did not even attend our wedding rehearsal, as he had another wedding the day before ours. Jove was a flat out disaster on wedding day. He missed our family photos, a service he includes in his website's Day of Coordinator package. As a result, the photo sessions and associated travel were chaotic. He grossly underestimated the time and labor required to load and unload decor, thereby cutting into his other obligations and obliging us to dispatch relatives to help him. My wife is an interior designer, and she meticulously reviewed her plans for the ceremony decor many times with Jove. She even prepared drawings and photo boards. But he still found a way to screw the decor up so badly that relatives scrambled to rearrange it just before the ceremony. I just don't understand how design details can be over the head of a guy who claims to have five years experience as a wedding planner and prop stylist. The guy couldn't even find a challah in Williamsburg -- no joke. Our delivery never arrived, and he neglected to tell us until we asked him about it. In short, Jove failed to fulfill the key promise of his website -- to let the wedding couple "rest assured that details are in place and the event is being managed by a professional." Some of Jove's missteps cost us money; he failed to account for rented items (obliging us to pay a replacement fee) or to hold vendors to the schedule on which we'd agreed (obliging us to pay overtime). But the icing on the cake came the next morning. As we awoke, anxious to catch a honeymoon flight, we were greeted with three generic emails from Jove. He was asking for -- get this -- a review. Well, here it is. read more

I continue to be amazed by the overly positive reviews that Jove receives on a number of these wedding websites. We hired Jove two months before our wedding for his month-of/day-of planning services in hopes of settling my mind at ease and reducing anxiety leading up to and on the day or my wedding. Instead he showed up late to meetings, made us feel like we were one of a million of his different, more important weddings, and had little attention span or ability to fully grasp our needs, or give professional expertise. After each meeting or email I would look back to these reviews, and hope that it was just the busy season, and that he would come through on the day of. Sadly this was not the case. Jove failed to come through on many of the items he outlines on his website. He felt it was unnecessary to be a part of the bridal party preparations, leading to a chaotic and stressful start of the day without his direction. He failed to set up the ceremony site correctly, after two meetings with discussions and floor plans. He also underestimated how much support we needed to set up, so our family had to help and miss vital group photos. There was no organization on his part for the group photos, as promised. During the reception, he failed to keep to our timeline leading to vendors staying late. All the while, he was seen eating & taking photos for his own Instagram. And after complaining that the breakdown would take too long on his own, he was seen frantically boxing everything up in front of guests before the evening was finished and ended up misplacing key pieces that we told him needed to be returned, costing us money. The reason he gets such outstanding reviews? Maybe they are fake, or maybe he gets all negative reviews taken down. I know my brother-in-law's was. All know is that I want people to hear how Jove really performs. When it comes to being a professional, giving and providing expert advice and help, he simply falls short. read more

An absolutely critical part of my wedding at the Bell House in Brooklyn, NY. Jove handled family, friends, decorations, the weather, the THREE bands, the DJ and a massive surprise from my groomsman and I to my bride with utter aplomb. I can't recommend him enough. read more

I had heard about Jove 5 months before my wedding. I had already been planning for about 6 months and was completely stressed out. Although my husband is a caring person, and wanted to help, he had no idea about how to go about planning a wedding,which lead me to feel like I was alone in the whole wedding planning process. I shared this with a friend of mine and she had mentioned Jove to me. I called him thinking that I would simply inquire about the price, to my surprise, I was amazed at how from the moment I spoke with him on the phone I already felt as if much of my worries had lessened and I knew it was a go. Jove's sensitivity, attention to detail, and reliable nature made him an amazing coordinator. I could speakabout aspects of the wedding to Jove that others wouldn't understand. On the day of the wedding, I was extremely overwhelmed emotionally and had a room full of supplies that needed to be setup at the wedding venue. Jove had a list with instructions of what I wanted,and he took full responsibility. I had thought I might have to help on the dayof the wedding, but when I had arrived at the venue, everything was set up perfectly as I had imagined. Jove is not only responsible, he has an ability to sense what his client is feeling, or if they are in need of something and would discreetly come over to see what it was. The fact that we could rely on someone for anything throughout the reception and knew that he would make it happen allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our day. Looking back, I realize that Jove was one of the only people that really came through for me on the big day doing much more than we had expected. My husband, my family, friends, and I all agree that hiring Jove was, one of, if not the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. read more

One of the best decisions we made during our planning process was hiring Jove Meyer to be our day-of coordinator for our wedding at The Bell House. Jove was recommended to us by our caterer after we decided we would need an extra hand the day of the wedding. Jove ended up contributing in a million different ways and in our view, our wedding day could not have gone more perfectly, or exceeded our expectations more (we say this knowing that Jove was probably handling every and any glitch flawlessly in the background with ease and charm without us ever worrying about a thing). We both work in production and thought we had our DIY wedding on lock, but as the month approached, we quickly realized there were so many things about weddings we did not understand and things about the day that seemed huge and overwhelming. During the planning process Jove was invaluable with his feedback, encouraging us along the way. The day of the wedding, Jove ran every single element with complete perfection and ease. He also had unbelievable last minute creative input (we had spent hours making decor that would only be displayed during the reception and he had the brilliant idea to showcase the decor during the ceremony, adding tremendously to the overall feel of the ceremony). The day was seamless, thanks to Jove. On top of that, we just really liked him from the start, which made us that much more excited to have him be a part of our wedding day. We also trusted him implicitly, both personally and artistically, which let us relax and focus on the people at the wedding instead of the nuts and bolts that go into it. Jove provides a service which is invaluable and necessary, but he brings himself to the job in an amazingly honest, fun and comfortable way. Thank you, Jove, for making it possible for us to enjoy what was truly the best day of our lives! read more

I really can't imagine what our wedding would have been like without Jove. In addition to being terrifically organized and super knowledgeable, he is just an awesome guy to be around. Our wedding involved a lot of moving parts, since we were working with a venue that had no in-house vendors. We had three food vendors and desserts from five different places! Amazingly, everything went off without a hitch. I am a very "diy" type of individual, but no amount of Googling can really prepare you for the number of questions that will come up when you are planning a wedding. Jove has a ton of great tips if you want alternatives to "traditional" wedding customs, though I could see him being a great fit with any type of wedding. His services are worth every penny. Whether you want to have a 500-person fete at the Museum of Natural History or 50 people on a Brooklyn rooftop, do yourself a favor and hire Jove! I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

We got married 3 days ago in Long Island City and had a HUGE multicultural affair on the coldest day of the year. Jove helped us out with month-of and day-of coordination, and throughout it all, was completely professional - and SO FUN! the Jove Meyer Events team provided excellent recommendations, followed up and communicated with ALL of our terrific vendors, and on the day of the wedding ensured that everything went off smoothly. To be sure there were minor bumps in the road but Jove and Erin alerted us to them immediately as they came up and were able to handle them all expeditiously and smoothly such that no one noticed a thing! On the morning of our wedding we left Jove and Erin a large pile of boxes full of my DIY projects, our programs and menus and hundreds of candles on the floor of our warehouse space - and by the time the ceremony came, the venue had been completely transformed into a magical and romantic vintage wedding scene I thought I could only dream about. The energy the whole night was infectious and fun and we cannot thank Jove, Erin and the whole Jove Meyer Events team enough for being our "wedding fairy godplanners!" In all seriousness, I felt like Cinderella!!! They also kept a sense of humor and a cool head throughout the whole process. Seriously, Jove Meyer Events are magicians. IF you are even thinking about wedding coordination services - hire them now!! read more

Jove was our full-service wedding planner for my husband and I, who got married in Brooklyn. In looking back at the entire wedding planning process and how crazy/stressful it can be (particularly in NY), I do not know how we would have survived without Jove. Jove has incredible taste, vision, and creative direction. He transformed a warehouse in Brooklyn into an incredible and beautiful venue with unique touches and components. He was the perfect complement - working within our budget, recommending a variety of appropriate vendors, and executing above and beyond the day we had discussed. If it weren't for Jove, we also wouldn't have found our amazing band, our lighting company, rentals, and caterer - some of our favorite vendors! He listened to our preferences and budget and offered the perfect fit. This within itself saved a lot of time, energy, and effort in the planning process. Jove was professional, on-time, responsive, during our entire planning process! Thank you, Jove - our wedding wouldn't have been what it was without you! read more

Aesthetically speaking, I knew Jove was the perfect designer/planner to bring my gender neutral baby shower vision to life. Not only did he bring it to life, he elevated to a level that I couldn't have dreamed. With his eye and talent for design, it's easy to see why his work is so coveted in the industry. And logistically speaking, he was absolutely wonderful to work with. He offered multiple options for vendors, kept us below budget thanks to his extensive research, and took care of every minor detail day-of. I couldn't recommend Jove enough for your special event! read more

There are not enough stars to provide to Jove and his team. We booked Jove for the full wedding services and he, and his team, went above and beyond on every occasion. There was no aspect of the wedding that Jove didn't cover, no detail too small, no overzealous (yet loving) Jewish Mother too large that he did not handle with grace, dignity andlove throughout. He took the loose threads of our inspiration and wove an incredible experience so specific to us. Bringing his incredible talent for design and style he expanded and elevated our vision to a staggering level of beauty and sophistication. He made real the look, tone and feel we could to even put words too. He instinctively got us. Jove helped us to realize all aspects of our dream wedding, and it was no small affair. We were, simply put, thrilled with every aspect of Jove Meyer events. For all the work he did, all the details he sweated, all the things that he made happen that we never even considered he was beyond a bargain. All the vendors Jove recommends and works with are top notch and are incredibly gifted creatively and are professional as well--fully rising to the challenge and delivering incredible results. We could not have been in better hands. And finally, Jove absolutely killed it the day of the wedding. We worried about nothing. Jove was seemingly everywhere and on top of everything. Like having a really close friend who can also bring down the hammer when needed, Jove made sure that everything proceeded in order and beautifully. It was one of the best days of our lives and Jove was a major part of making it happen. read more

Jove is an amazing event planner. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and a blast thanks to him. He made all of our crazy ideas for our wedding a reality. We wanted something different and he brought it all together without a hitch. During the planning process he thinks of everything. He provides information and suggestions when you need them. He is your advocate when dealing with vendors. When visiting venues he asked questions that I would have never thought of. We love Jove. If you are thinking of hiring a planner you should hire Jove! read more

We hired Jove for day-of wedding coordinating and flower services but he was soooo much more to us in the whole process. He made sure we understood all the pieces that went into our day and had planned ahead for them, and then executed everything SO perfectly the day of! He coordinated other vendors, distributed schedules and floor plans, and overall took so much stress off of us. From getting the wedding party and family where they needed to be to walk down the aisle, to helping us rearrange the tables when we wanted to enlarge the dance floor, to packing up all our personal items at the end of the night, he was just amazing. AND he did ALL the decorating the day of! We left him with boxes of vases and ribbons and favors with very little instruction and we were THRILLED when we arrived later to see it! (and we're both designers with pretty particular taste and were so impressed with what he did) Best of all he is SO sweet and fun and excited about what he does. We looked forward to chatting with him every time we met and we were so happy to have him with us at our wedding that day. Thank you again Jove!! Laura and Kevin Brooklyn August 2013 read more

We couldn't be happier that we chose to hire Jove as our month of/day of planner for our wedding in Brooklyn in late April of 2014. He was exceptionally helpful, fun, positive, creative and talented. Every question we had, he had a great answer for or knew who we should ask. He was an invaluable resource to us leading up to the wedding and his advice and opinions made the process so much easier. On the day of our wedding we felt so pampered. He took wonderful care of us, gently ushering us to where we had to be but always making sure we had a glass of champagne in our hands. Do not hesitate to hire Jove, you will not regret it. He's a lovely guy and there is no part of working with him that we felt didn't measure up to our expectations. He had really great relationships with our other vendors, and at the end of the night, everything we brought was accounted for, and everything we rented was returned perfectly. Without Jove, we are confident that our wedding day would have been a stressful and chaotic experience -- but with him it was so much fun and so easy. We are honored and grateful to have had him as a part of our wedding day and we felt completely at ease knowing everything was in his very capable hands. read more

Jove was a joy to work with, always responding with good humor and equanimity to whatever issues arose as we planned our wedding. In truth, these "issues" were always minor, due in no small part to the professionalism of the excellent vendors suggested by Jove. On the actual day, we had to do nothing more than show up. Jove coordinated every element of the wedding, one that was characterized by more than one of our guests as "magical." (They seemed to really mean it!) We couldn't have done it without Jove--or we could have, but really, really badly--and we'll be forever grateful for his services. read more

Jove did me and my wive's wedding in Santa Cruz this last month. He was amazing! The place looked beautiful and he was great with everything. We would recommend him to anyone getting married. Jove is simply the best! read more

Jove is amazing. I hired him as my Month of coordinator. He was responsive all the time, and handled everything the came up. He made sure everything ran smoothly and was fantastic! His assistant, marlyis was also great, she made sure our transportation rAn smooth ( even when our drivers sucked). I would highly recommend him. read more

Hiring Jove as our Day of Coordinator was the best money spent at our wedding. He was professional, friendly, punctual and great with the vendors. Most importantly we didn't have to worry about anything on the wedding day because Jove and his assistant were coordinating it all. Importantly, Jove doesn't project the image of a busy, nervous stage manager - instead he portrays a calm demeanor and confidence. This is what you want in the person managing your wedding. I highly recommend getting a coordinator and I highly recommend Jove to be that person. read more

Jove Meyer was the day-of coordinator for our wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough of him. He was extremely communicative throughout the whole process and was a real pleasure to work with. On the wedding day he made everything run smoothly and I didn't stress about a single thing. We gave him boxes of stuff to be arranged at the venue with minimal direction and he made it all look perfectly put together. His eye for detail and aesthetics is superb. We got married at a restaurant, and he worked with the staff to ensure that everything went according to plan. And at the end of the night he boxed up everything that we were going to take with us, so we didn't have to think about it. I honestly don't know what we would have done without him! read more

Jove was a key partner in making sure my wedding went off smoothly. From finding some key vendors to ensuring that the wedding ran on time to protecting our bare dancing feet from a broken wine glass, Jove made sure that our wedding was perfect for John and I. I'd highly recommend Jove because he will not only make sure that your day is special, but that you enjoy every second. read more

Where do I even begin with Jove...it was love at first (SKYPE) sight. I live in Chicago, from NY, and was about to plan a wedding in Brooklyn. I knew I needed a wedding planner, and what I got was not only a wedding planner but an artist, a decorator, a visionary, a FRIEND! Jove helped us pick out every vendor we used, from photographer, florist, DJ, and the AMAZING food trucks. He provided choices for each vendor based on our "vibe" (a word he must have gotten sick of me using by the end), our budget, and taste. Jove visited each vendor with us, helping to make the right choices, and I am 100% THRILLED with each and every choice we made. After picking the vendors, Jove helped bring the "vision" to life with the design and the structure of the day, truly making it a dream come true! I can not say enough how highly I think of Jove and his work, and thinking of more events we can plan together! read more

Have to agree with Darcy B on this one, this guy is an organizational train wreck and these five star reviews must be from families deemed important enough for him to actually do good work, but it certainly wasn't the case for us. Even though ours was a full service package, he treated it as if it were a kind of side deal project. Before the event he was non-responsive to emails and refused to give the group information about what to do. He acted like he had a zen-understanding of why it would be best to not communicate with the bridal party until day of, which made everyone really scared and upset. On site he was late, inappropriately dressed, and rude to the bridal party and guests. He kept everyone in the dark about what was supposed to happen and dismissed peoples' anxiety about what to do as if we were being silly for asking. His whole on-site demeanor was unprofessional - although this was a non-traditional wedding, we certainly did have elderly or otherwise traditional guests who didn't need to be snapped with snark like they cut him in line at a nightclub. He was the big negative thing everyone kept talking about with an otherwise great wedding. The big thing all the out of town guests said is that it was "So NYC" that someone so awful could stay in business because there isn't enough word of mouth to get him to change. read more
